The very thought of art on trains makes the MTA shutterâ€”they did provide the rolling canvasses that made NYC’s subway graffiti possible in the first placeâ€”but in Japan, they embrace it, as long as its sanctioned. Pictured here is a Cyborg 009 train on the Senseki line. It features the work of local manga and anime artist named Shinomori ShÅtarÅ. Click through the ‘Tentacle’ to see the full collection of eye-popping, image adorned trains, a sight likely never to make its way to the city, unless it’s in the form of an adâ€”then it’s perfectly fine. |PinkTentacle|
